I hope to meet some long term friends here as I embark on this super-amazing journey! I have my consultation and meeting with the Dr. and nurse team tomorrow at Gwinnett Bariatric Center (Dr. Robert Richard) and I am THRILLED that my insurance covers the surgery, I've already been pre-certified, I have very little out of pocket, and I could be sleeved in Nov or Dec! So excited, anxious, nervous and everything in between. I am blogging my journey, so if any of you would like to join me along for the ride, maybe we can support each other!

Love and Light!

I will be having mine after the first of the year. I am taking care of all my preop stuff now. I have to switch insurance plans in order to get the surgery covered. I am looking to make some friends to share the journey with also, people who understand, so we can support each other, laugh, cry.. :)

Welcome I am 4 weeks out and what a ride. Up and down on weight loss but I would not change a thing. Down 30 pounds. I found myself trying to keep up with others on the site. Then my husband said you are you and it will happen. He is being supportive. My one mistake is I have become glued to the scale. Do yourself a favor and try not to fall into that trap.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
